Rumours today that Hatate could be sold in summer and that possible replacement would be the Motherwell lad Lennon Miller
I would not be against this as I think Hatate has been hyped up to better than he actually is for us.
If we get £10 for the Japanese player and buy Miller even for £5m we would be getting a younger fitter player who knows our League and we still make a profit.
1.) 05 Mar 2025 12:07:43
Lennon Miller wouldn’t get near our midfield imho
If we want to progress we need to be buying players that are better than our current players al la Arne.
That goes for CD Striker winger and full back especially CD.
That said it’s not easy, I liked the look of the Brugge CB last night popped online to see he is valued at 40 mil, he’s 20 yo.
{Ed007's Note - It wasn't too long ago that people were saying Engels was a waste of money. Lennon Miller is the best young Scottish midfielder since Lewis Ferguson and that was a major mistake letting him slip through the net.
If we do buy Lennon Miller I guarantee that under Rodgers he will be one of the best players in the country within the next 2 years.}
2.) 05 Mar 2025 15:52:18
Thinking KT, Miller, Kvistgarden in summer and mb a CB??♂️.
3.) 05 Mar 2025 20:17:05
I have been massively impressed with Engles over the last couple of months. Was probably judging him too harshly and was massively frustrated with him but what a turnaround I can now see in him. Mostly down to the lad himself, but with a good bit of credit to Brendan and the staff. Miller is a top player within the league barring ourselves. If he was to come he will be giving the time and assistance to progress as has Engles, Yang, khun etc etc under the management, sure look at Jota back smiling.
4.) 05 Mar 2025 22:11:19
Miller should be getting earmarked as mcgregors long term successor. Even if he's not ready just yet, how do we know until we see him.
Even if we do bring him in i think we still could do with another CM to replace hatate/ bernardo. I expect hatate will likely move on which i would be happy with. Far too inconsistent for me.
5.) 05 Mar 2025 22:58:37
I am not against Miller but I would prefer a big no nonsense Defensive midfielder and a Striker come in IF we can keep the rest of our Squad together. I would be happy with that.
6.) 06 Mar 2025 17:46:57
Do you no think we will see KT at lcb.
7.) 06 Mar 2025 19:45:34
Spot on edd and Troy.
I said six months ago in a conversation with Malley that I would swap Hatate for Lennon Miller in a heartbeat.
8.) 07 Mar 2025 10:05:41
Why would we buy a big no nonsense Defensive midfielder if our manager has no intention of playing with a big no nonsense Defensive midfielder?
9.) 07 Mar 2025 13:15:57
I would really like to see Bernardo getting a run out in the "McGregor" role when he is fit.
I think the boy is a huge and don't want to see him getting disillusioned if he isn't getting game time.
I still agreed that we should sign Miller as I can see Hatate going in the Summer and we need to start scaling McGregor's game time back a bit.
10.) 09 Mar 2025 16:35:11
Lennon Miller is starting to become a must buy for me (I'm still gutted we never signed John McGinn) .
He ticks a lot of boxes and, as Ed mentioned, under BR and staff he could improve immensely.
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
11.) 10 Mar 2025 20:04:22
I agree Miller was good when he played against us, he has ability and under Rodgers would learn plenty, however I think he will go abroad for slightly more money than we will offer, wouldn't surprise me if he becomes Lewis Ferguson replacement when if he gets his move to one of the top Serie A clubs.
05 Feb 2025 13:52:10
IF the stories in the press are true (Yes press stories and truth do not go together)
But there is a ring of truth that Brondby wanted around
£11m for Kvistgarden, which considering we got £10m for Kyogo I don't think Brondby were wrong in valuing their player.
No I blame our Board for again going in with low ball offers
I read also the winger we were after went to Dinamo Zagreb for 1 million EUROS about £890k yet again stories of us going in with cheapskate offers.
1.) 05 Feb 2025 14:51:26
Also, when asked if he thought there were any noticeable premiums added to player values, Rodgers said "no".
2.) 05 Feb 2025 14:53:43
Not sure what Zagreb winger you're on about though. That's news to me.
3.) 05 Feb 2025 19:30:25
@ Timalloy so you reckon Celtic should pay £11m for a guy who has scored 38 goals in 4 years and is not a full international just because that’s what Brondby want? I think Celtic are right to offer below that valuation as I can’t see how he is worth £11m.
Bet you would be first to mock Rangers fans for there high valuation of Igamane when his stats are not much different and I wouldn't give them £11 million for him either!
20 Dec 2024 10:48:41
Being realistic what should Celtic ask for Bernabei
The gossip is we want about £7m for him, his loan club International in Brazil claim that is too high. Celtic obviously do not have plans for the lad, so should we reduce price to say £5m and wish the lad all the best.
1.) 20 Dec 2024 22:06:43
All the noise seems to be around the fee. Not much around competing interests. Aim for 7 mill and hopefully there's 2 out there willing to get close to it. There's no future for the boy here.
12 Nov 2024 19:10:25
Rumours going about we have bid £5.3m for Lennon Miller.
1.) 12 Nov 2024 19:32:44
I think you’ve pressed the wrong numbers Tim by mistake.
There’s no way Celtic have bid £5.3M for a very young Motherwell player whose contract runs out in 2026.
{Ed007's Note - That's what's being bandied about, Buzz.}
2.) 12 Nov 2024 19:40:14
I’ve just read the same report and your typing skills are still good ?
I still don’t believe those figures will be accurate due to the lads contract.
Celtic know they will get him for £3M and add ons at the most.
3.) 12 Nov 2024 19:57:23
Those figures would rule a certain other club out of the running Ed.
I hope Celtic sign him because it’s important to bring the best young Scottish talent to our club.
Especially since not much is coming through our own youth system.
{Ed007's Note - Even at £6 million I think it'll prove to be a bargain in the long run, he's the best young Scottish midfielder since Lewis Ferguson came through and it still irks me we didn't sign him.}
4.) 12 Nov 2024 22:08:40
Evening All
Can't remember which one I posted on (Forum, Podcast or Live Chat) .
I indicated that Celtic "would go all in" to try sign Lennon Miller in January transfer window.
Personally I think his value is at least £5m +
?.
5.) 13 Nov 2024 07:33:04
If he doesn’t get sold in January, his valuation will drop because he will be entering the final year of his contract.
6.) 13 Nov 2024 10:03:54
Lennon Miller should be signed at any cost but can't see him staying in Scotland he also has a bluenose family but sometimes that doesn't matter.
7.) 13 Nov 2024 11:38:26
Think Well want more than Turnbull ehich was about £3:2m and your right Edd eee did miss a trick with Ferguson evn Uncle Barry has voiced his opinion saying we should have as he reckons he's a £20m player now.
8.) 13 Nov 2024 13:04:36
I think 5.3m for the best young midfielder in scotland is a fair price. Motherwell have every right to hold out for that fee. Young Miller should be our priority in January and hopefully we act quick as clubs in england will be hovering as well.
9.) 13 Nov 2024 13:13:01
We paid more for Holm the following season who can't get anywhere near the team than Bologna paid for Lewis. Even more irritating that Ferguson won the Bulgarelli award for best midfielder in Serie A last season.
10.) 13 Nov 2024 18:29:24
We haven’t bid anything yet, no disrespect to anyone but some folk look at articles see a number and think we’ve made a bid, it’s rumoured that that’s what we will look to bid. I don’t like to sound like the guy who has the imaginary contacts but I’ve been in company with several guys inside the parkhead lounges on match days, guys who usually have credible insider knowledge and the talk is it’s pretty much a done deal that he’s coming to us and it’s a record Scottish fee, obviously this indicates the fee rumoured might be indeed true as the record is the 4.4m we paid Hibs for broony, but I haven’t been told an exact figure, just that it’s pretty much a done deal barring any last minute issues. Again, and I’ll repeat, it’s just what I’ve heard and it’s usually a very accurate source who told me Brendan was coming back to us last March which I didn’t believe in the slightest at that time.
In regards to miller and my own opinion, we need to go all out for this lad, I think hatate is looking to go to a better league so miller would be a like for like replacement. Playing and learning from the likes of mcgregor, Engels and mcCowan, Forrest, will only improve his game. We can’t let this one slip like we did with mcGinn.
11.) 14 Nov 2024 13:34:35
If we do sign him and it's a big if, I really hope we let him stay at Motherwell for another season on loan.
Also why is it people also mentioned who a players family support?
The boy played for our youth teams and was in our academy and only moved to Motherwell as his dad didn't see a pathway to the first team.
We have also had a lot of previous and current players who grew up supporting the other team
That kind of thing doesn't matter in Football anymore, even Barry Ferguson was wanting us to sign Lewis.
12.) 14 Nov 2024 15:08:54
Buzz you are dreaming if you think we will get Miller for 3 million.
13.) 14 Nov 2024 15:59:10
North 18
Motherwell need to sell him in January whilst his value is high and not let him enter his final year of his contract.
Clubs might not be willing to pay top dollar for a player with only one year left of his contract.
Without repeating myself.
14.) 14 Nov 2024 19:00:54
I get that with the contract Buzz, however such is his talent I suspect he will have several options which always pushes the price up. IF the rumours are true it appears Celtic are going in heavy and early to seal the deal and avoid a McGinn scenario.
Remember the rumours also indicate even Sevco are interested at around 3 million tops.
15.) 15 Nov 2024 13:21:46
I've read that Motherwell are aiming to receive a club record fee for young Miller of no less than £4M.
This would be an increase on their current record fee of £3.25M for DT back in 2020.
The media love banding about the numbers and it's no surprise this then causes debate amongst supporters.
At the end of the day if BR likes him and thinks he can improve, increase in value and contribute to our continued success along the way, then get him signed.
☘️ ? ☘️.
16.) 18 Nov 2024 14:53:02
That's a fair price. He should stay with Motherwell until the summer though.
17.) 22 Nov 2024 17:36:08
I’d sign him. Good for us good for Scottish football. We certainly need to get a replacement in for the Captain. Whether that’s him or someone else.
02 Sep 2024 19:56:49
ED007 have you heard anything about re development of Main Stand
I read on one of the Celtic sites that after Pedro was confronted by fans asking where all the money was going, he put it out via his newsaper buddies that plans were advancing for the Main stand
Have your contacts told you anything
thaanks.
{Ed007's Note - No I haven't heard anything about it apart from the usual rumours that we are planning something like that or pulling the trigger on the hotel/museum or superstore/ticket office upgrades
1.) 03 Sep 2024 22:55:43
It's time addressed the amount of restricted view seats there are in the stadium.
2.) 04 Sep 2024 07:48:52
Celtic can’t remove a pillar that holds the roof up.
{Ed001's Note - unless they changed the roof for one that doesn't require pillars.}
3.) 04 Sep 2024 08:52:55
Restricted view is not a big issue at Celtic Park.
The worst view is probably the corner of the away end.
Of course it isn’t nice for the vast minority of fans who have restricted views seats.
4.) 04 Sep 2024 10:58:56
Let's be honest. The main stand needs upgrading big time. I may be in the minority here, but I think 60,000 is fine. I would be very happy if most of our available funds were spent on a total renovation, not necessarily an expansion. The stand inside is too small. Better facilities for European nights is a must. More corporate boxes/ hospitality would pay for itself in a few years. For the sake of a couple of million quid you could get rid of the pillars in the north stand. I read somewhere that we needed these because of the cemetery behind? Remember it already overhangs. Celtic 'bought' the air/ space from GCC back when the stadium was being redeveloped. And finally, major upgrades to the concourses are needed. Kiosks etc. I am ready to be corrected on anything. Cheers folks. HH!
5.) 04 Sep 2024 11:57:41
I’m sure I’ve seen pillars in the Main Stand which must be taken down for home games.
6.) 04 Sep 2024 13:09:12
Correct. I've never understood that, either. Our Sky box looks quite lonely up there on it's own. I like my stadia. ☺️.
7.) 04 Sep 2024 16:54:59
Agree with Celticmad, there's no point increasing capacity if the current setup isn't as good as it could be. A revamp of the main stand, get rid of the pillars, upgrade the general facilities and get the stadium to a level where it could host a European Final.
{Ed007's Note - I'm not 100% sure but I'm sure unofficially UEFA use stadiums with at least 70k capacity and the only time they haven't in a long time was during the COVID season, which as we know was a complete freak of nature across football with us, PSG, Juventus and neither of the Spanish Big Two winning their respective leagues.}
8.) 04 Sep 2024 17:10:56
There’s no way Celtic will spend Millions removing pillars, which would involve changing the roof on stands.
They can’t make money on such a move.
That makes it a Zero chance.
9.) 05 Sep 2024 09:56:41
I have to look through a barrier in the east stand to see the goal which in a fairly modern stadium should be the case. These restricted view seats are spread throughout the stadium which is poor.
10.) 05 Sep 2024 09:41:27
I think that's just for CL Finals, Ed. They're playing this year's Europa League Final at San Mames in Bilbao with a 53k capacity. There's a minefield of criteria for retractable roofs and even the number of VIP parking spaces. Load of nonsense really.

Good luck for Cheltenham Tim.
I’m only putting on One bet for Cheltenham which will give me an interest in all the races.
At least 10 winning favourites and at least 100 lengths combined winning distances over the 28 races this week @ 7/ 2.

WUMMIN AND FITBA
During the Hibs game yesterday
Mrs T popped her head in from kitchen and asked
Is that VAT thing not being used"
I replied "no anything to do with TAXES is an IBROX thing".
09 Mar 2025 11:50:07
The GHirls showed me a channel on Youtube called CP OVERVIEW
It's drone footage over Celtic Park and it shows the entire stadium from all angles
Two things that stood out to me was
How SMALL the main stand looked compared to the three newer stands
Also I was amazed how CLOSE the stadium was to the old Janefield cemetry, literally a couple of meters is all that separates ground and cemetry.
1.) 09 Mar 2025 12:29:24
When you come out the north stand there is a big wall and cemetery just at other side.
I remember climbing over it after the Liverpool game in 2003. I was steamin and woke up the next morning covered in bruises., ?.
2.) 09 Mar 2025 13:08:40
I think the North Stand roof goes past the wall into the Cemetery it’s that close.
{Ed007's Note - Didn't Fergus need to buy the air space from the council when the North Stand was being built?}
3.) 09 Mar 2025 14:05:23
I remember a couple years ago against sevco and a lot of us had to jump over the wall to avoid a crush.
4.) 09 Mar 2025 16:29:30
Correct Ed, I remember reading that at the time.
☘️ ? ☘️.
{Ed007's Note - Didn't a load of the local residents try and claim Celtic because it interfered with their TV reception and Fergus said come up to the stadium with your TV licence they would get reimbursed it?
How many folk in "those" flats had TV licences? ??
5.) 09 Mar 2025 18:35:10
I remember that game DC, was quite scary.
09 Mar 2025 11:29:14
I am looking forward to today's game, it has all the hallmarks of what cup ties were like years ago when the away team brought 10,000 fans or more. Hibs today will be backed by that kind of away support today so atmosphere should be good.
The defeat in Edinburgh has given us a warning, I think we will see a different Celtic today, and I expect goals but I think Hibs will score also. 3-2 Celtic?
1.) 09 Mar 2025 11:51:02
I reckon Celtic will destroy Hibs today.
I will go for a comfortable 4-1 victory.
Only yesterday my kids received different tickets for the Hibs match through the post.
They would normally be right next to the Hibs supporters but someone has made the decision to move them into the next section 114.
2.) 09 Mar 2025 13:37:31
The Hibs fans will out sing us. But we'll outscore them 3-1 us.
06 Mar 2025 08:50:01
DEAL OR NO DEAL
Some reports saying Lyon willing to offer Motherwell £8m for Lennon Miller
IF TRUE ( a BIG IF) would Celtic match it and is the boy, talented as he is, worth £8m at this present time
I think if Motherwell deal at £4m we plough in.
1.) 06 Mar 2025 09:29:32
£8m these days is no money at all for teenage player with any degree of promise. It's a punt clubs like Lyon are willing to take as they know if it works out the next transfer fee will easily be £20/ 30m.
It's whether or not we can afford a similar gamble, If Lyon pay that money and he bombs they'll probably still get £4/ 5m back from a championship club who'll take a punt. But if he bombs at us there's not really anywhere we can shift him onto that will generate that kind of money.
Personally I think we should go all in on him, we missed out on McGinn and let the likes of Lewis Ferguson get away, from what I've seen of Miller he will be one of Scotland's best midfielders in the next few years (and we need the best Scottish player we can get due to the 8/ 25 rule, bear in minc Calmac won't be playing forever) .
2.) 06 Mar 2025 10:32:40
Lyon are in major financial difficulty, so I doubt the story is true.
3.) 06 Mar 2025 10:47:24
I can’t see any club paying £8M for a teenager playing for Motherwell, especially when they can get him for nothing on a pre-contract in January.
4.) 06 Mar 2025 12:33:41
Afternoon All
I posted a few months ago that Celtics would go "All in" to buy Lennon Miller.
(I also thought it would happen in the recent January window) .
I think the transfer fee will be in region of £5m - £6m.
Worth every penny in my imo and certainly very much a long term investment who would enhance our playing squad.
?.
5.) 06 Mar 2025 16:06:14
The Sevco 4/ 9d fans are convinced he's going to them, and it reminds me of the Scott Brown scenario 20+ years ago.
6.) 06 Mar 2025 16:53:27
If Celtic reallywant to buy Lennon Miller they will have to at least nearly match Motherwell’s valuation of him . Celtic are in a sound financial position which means that if they really want Lennon Miller and if he is as good as many on here claim him to be there is no point in Celtic not going beyond £4-£5 m, if we could buy him for £7-£8m .
If Celtic have to give £8-£9m for LM and he turns out to be good value for money then he is a bargain . If we buy him for £4m and he has difficulty getting a permanent place in Celtic midfield’s then he is poor value at £4m .
We have bought enough players over the last couple of years to know that often players take a full season to find their feet with us . We shouldn’t rush to decide that player is a bargain or just not good enough to play for Celtic.
7.) 07 Mar 2025 09:24:35
We also need to weigh up who'll still be here at Parkhead next season and what positions are up for grabs. If we lose a midfielder or two then sure, there'll be a space. If not then how could we keep everyone happy.
8.) 07 Mar 2025 12:30:22
There may already be a slot for him as Holm is likely to leave. That being said it is possible that Rodgers sees young Bonnar in that squad place.
9.) 07 Mar 2025 17:26:37
If we want to improve and expect to have a better run in Europe next yr, we will have to improve our squad . To improve squad we need at least one quality midfielder. This quality midfielder will take the place of Holm . That means we have the same number of midfielders next season as this season . Unless BR knows in the summer that a player can step up and play a regular role for ist team we will have to buy a 2nd midfielder.
05 Feb 2025 09:54:16
Sorry DerryTim but we do not want any MASONS near Celtic Park.
01 Feb 2025 21:23:42
I saw that but would he take a pay cut to come back.
01 Feb 2025 20:56:06
Mr NOBODY.
23 Jan 2025 21:13:48
guys if we sign Jota and Tierney we are getting two UNFIT players
At least Tierney is getting some game time
The Rennes coach said Jota was a poor trainer
We will have a lot of work to get them up to speed quickly.
23 Jan 2025 13:28:03
Mally two points
First surely our Board would not sell Kyogo until after the Aston Villa game as that game could see us reach last eight
Second I am positive our ED007 said Jota could not come back to Scotland because he would have to repay millions in tax.
{Ed007's Note - If Jota joins a British club he will be liable for tax on his Saudi earnings because he is returning within 2 tax years of his departure, it's why he never joined West Ham in the summer.
He will be fine to return in the summer but this isn't a transfer window issue, it's the April - April tax year that's the problem.}
10 Mar 2025 21:15:23

09 Mar 2025 09:57:03
Buzz what I remember about that clown Brown was when he managed Dundee and Rab Douglas was the goalkeeper, Brown picked on Douglas and blamed Rab for the team mistakes.
His blue nose was obvious even back then.
28 Feb 2025 18:33:48
Yes guys there was photos online today of all the extra work Celtic have did, including their own entrance and exit extra railings outside to seperate them from our fans, inside there is netting put up
At Ibrox all they did was erect some netting, no additional safety measures.
28 Feb 2025 10:51:35
Buzz did you see him on TV giving it big on "I am prepared to make tough decisions" when he hooked the young defender
My pal coaches amateur teams, has done it for years, and he said Ferguson took the EASY option, picking on a young inexperienced player, no my pal said, he should have taken off an older experienced player, which would have earned him more respect.
19 Feb 2025 14:48:01
ED007 and guys DD was pictured at the Bayern game last night
Let's hope he has made arrangements to meet the Board and Brendan to discuss our summer transfer budget and what our manager wants to bring in player wise.
With our healthy bank balance and circa £46m made from our CL adventure, surely there is no reason not to reinvest some of the CL money on the team.
My worry is our Board usually sell a big name player to fund transfers and the obvious player is Kuhn, who was already on the radar of big european teams.
